The electrical connectors of the lateral bus bars and bus bars (120, 130) of row are arranged in a space between the lateral bus bars. The connection sub-assemblies (150A, 150B, 160) include electrical connectors that are aligned in side by side in a transverse direction (Y), perpendicular to a longitudinal axis (X) and taken in a mid-plane (P) of the bus bar row.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de raccordement électrique destiné à alimenter des rangées horizontales d'appareillages électriques d'un coffret électrique.The present invention relates to an electrical connection device for feeding horizontal rows of electrical equipment of an electrical box.

Elle concerne plus particulièrement un tel dispositif de raccordement comprenant une rangée de barres conductrices verticales parallèles, dont deux barres conductrices latérales disposées aux extrémités de cette rangée, comportant chacune au moins un connecteur électrique pour le raccordement électrique desdits appareillages électriques à un réseau électrique.It relates more particularly to such a connection device comprising a row of parallel vertical conductive bars, including two lateral busbars disposed at the ends of this row, each having at least one electrical connector for the electrical connection of said electrical equipment to an electrical network.

ARRIÈRE-PLAN TECHNOLOGIQUETECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND

On connaît déjà, notamment des documents US20070109733 , GB2351852 et FR2693848 , des dispositifs de raccordement électrique verticaux du type précité, qui comportent une pluralité de connecteurs électriques sur chacune de leurs barres conductrices. Ces connecteurs électriques sont alignés horizontalement de manière à former des rangées de connecteurs comportant un connecteur électrique de chaque barre conductrice.We already know, especially documents US20070109733 , GB2351852 and FR2693848 vertical electrical connection devices of the aforementioned type, which comprise a plurality of electrical connectors on each of their busbars. These electrical connectors are aligned horizontally to form rows of connectors having an electrical connector of each conductor bar.

Chaque connecteur électrique étant typiquement disposé à cheval sur la barre conductrice correspondante, de manière à s'étendre de part et d'autre de cette barre conductrice, la largeur totale du dispositif est alors supérieure à l'écart entre les deux barres conductrices d'extrémité de la rangée de barres conductrices.Each electrical connector being typically arranged astride the corresponding conductive bar, so as to extend on either side of this conducting bar, the total width of the device is then greater than the distance between the two conductive bars of end of the row of busbars.

Les dispositifs de raccordement connus présentent donc une largeur importante, en particulier pour les dispositifs de raccordement tétrapolaires, et doivent être placés contre le fond du coffret et raccordés aux rangées d'appareillages électriques disposées devant ce dispositif dans le coffret.The known connection devices therefore have a large width, in particular for four-pole connecting devices, and must be placed against the bottom of the box and connected to the rows of electrical equipment arranged in front of this device in the box.

Le raccordement des appareillages électriques est alors malaisé pour l'utilisateur et nécessite un temps de mise en place relativement long. La longueur des câbles d'alimentation nécessaire pour raccorder les appareillages est en outre très importante.The connection of electrical equipment is then difficult for the user and requires a relatively long implementation time. The length of the power cables needed to connect the equipment is also very important.

On connaît également du document DE3813099 , un peigne vertical comportant une rangée de barres conductrices s'étendant perpendiculairement au plan moyen de la rangée. Chaque barre conductrice comporte des connecteurs s'étendant dans le plan de cette barre conductrice ou de l'une des autres barres conductrices. Les possibilités de raccordement du peigne aux rangées d'appareillages sont alors très limitées.Document is also known DE3813099 , a vertical comb having a row of conductive bars extending perpendicularly to the middle plane of the row. Each conductor bar has connectors extending in the plane of this busbar or one of the other busbars. The possibilities of connecting the comb to the rows of equipment are then very limited.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Afin de remédier aux inconvénients précités de l'état de la technique, la présente invention propose un nouveau dispositif de raccordement électrique accessible plus facilement et dont le câblage est ainsi facilité.In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the state of the art, the The present invention proposes a new electrical connection device accessible more easily and whose wiring is thus facilitated.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention propose un dispositif de raccordement électrique destiné à alimenter des rangées horizontales d'appareillages électriques d'un coffret électrique tel que décrit dans la revendication 1.More particularly, the invention proposes an electrical connection device for supplying horizontal rows of electrical equipment of an electrical box as described in claim 1.

La largeur totale du dispositif est ainsi égale à la distance entre les deux barres conductrices latérales.The total width of the device is thus equal to the distance between the two lateral conductive bars.

Elle est ainsi réduite et le dispositif peut être disposé dans le coffret électrique à côté des rangées d'appareillages électriques et non plus derrière celle-ci. Il est ainsi plus facilement accessible.It is thus reduced and the device can be arranged in the electrical box next to the rows of electrical equipment and no longer behind it. It is thus more easily accessible.

En outre, ce positionnement libère de la place pour installer des appareillages électriques supplémentaires dans le coffret et faire passer les câbles d'alimentation à l'arrière des appareillages électriques.In addition, this positioning frees up space to install additional electrical equipment in the cabinet and pass the power cables to the back of the electrical equipment.

Enfin, la disposition des connecteurs électriques dans le dispositif selon l'invention permet d'augmenter facilement le nombre de connecteurs électriques prévus dans le dispositif. Le raccordement des appareillages électriques des rangées en est ainsi encore facilité.Finally, the arrangement of the electrical connectors in the device according to the invention makes it possible to easily increase the number of electrical connectors provided in the device. The connection of the electrical equipment of the rows is thus even easier.

Le sous-ensemble de connexion permet notamment de regrouper dans peu d'espace plusieurs connecteurs électriques, de manière à ce qu'ils soient faciles d'accès pour la connexion des appareillages électriques d'une rangée située à proximité.The connection subassembly makes it possible in particular to group together in a small space several electrical connectors, so that they are easily accessible for connection of the electrical equipment of a nearby row.

D'autres caractéristiques avantageuses et non limitatives du dispositif selon l'invention sont énoncées dans les revendications 2 à 14.Other advantageous and non-limiting features of the device according to the invention are set forth in claims 2 to 14.

On a représenté sur les figures 12 à 15 un dispositif 500 de raccordement électrique selon l'invention destiné à alimenter des rangées 601, 602, 603 horizontales d'appareillages électriques d'un coffret électrique 600; 800.We have shown on Figures 12 to 15 a device 500 of electrical connection according to the invention for supplying horizontal rows 601, 602, 603 of electrical equipment of an electrical box 600; 800.

Ces rangées 601, 602, 603 d'appareillages électrique comportent chacune une pluralité d'appareillages électriques. Seuls les appareillages électriques de tête de rangées sont ici représentés sur les figures 12 et 13.These rows 601, 602, 603 of electrical equipment each comprise a plurality of electrical equipment. Only the electrical apparatus of row head are here represented on the figures 12 and 13 .

Ces appareillages électriques sont montés sur des rails 611, 612, 613; 811, 812 qui s'étendent horizontalement, parallèlement les uns aux autres dans le coffret 600; 800 correspondant.These electrical devices are mounted on rails 611, 612, 613; 811, 812 which extend horizontally, parallel to each other in the cabinet 600; 800 corresponding.

Comme le montrent les figures 6, 7 et 8 qui forment ensemble un éclaté du dispositif 500 de raccordement électrique, celui-ci comporte une rangée 100 de barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 parallèles destinées à être disposée verticalement dans le coffret électrique 600; 800 correspondant, logée dans une enveloppe isolante extérieure 300.As shown by Figures 6, 7 and 8 which together form an explosion of the electrical connection device 500, it comprises a row 100 of parallel busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 intended to be arranged vertically in the electrical box 600; 800 corresponding, housed in an outer insulation casing 300.

Chaque barre conductrice 110, 120, 130, 140 s'étend parallèlement à un axe longitudinal X du dispositif 500 de raccordement. La rangée 100 de barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 présente un plan moyen P parallèle à cet axe longitudinal X (figures 1, 2, 3 et 7).Each conductive bar 110, 120, 130, 140 extends parallel to a longitudinal axis X of the connecting device 500. Row 100 of bars 110, 120, 130, 140 has an average plane P parallel to this longitudinal axis X ( figures 1 , 2 , 3 and 7 ).

Le corps de chaque barre conductrice 110, 120, 130, 140 est ici formé d'une plaquette 115, 125, 135, 145 métallique mince et allongée selon l'axe longitudinal X, présentant deux faces principales opposées reliées par une tranche 116, 126, 136, 146 de cette plaquette 115, 125, 135, 145.The body of each conducting bar 110, 120, 130, 140 is here formed of a plate 115, 125, 135, 145 thin metal and elongate along the longitudinal axis X, having two opposite main faces connected by a wafer 116, 126 , 136, 146 of this plate 115, 125, 135, 145.

Les plaquettes 115, 125, 135, 145 présentent ici avantageusement les mêmes dimensions pour toutes les barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140.The plates 115, 125, 135, 145 present advantageously the same dimensions for all the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140.

Les barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 sont de plus disposées de manière que les faces principales opposées des plaquettes 115, 125, 135, 145 soient disposées parallèlement les unes aux autres, perpendiculairement au plan moyen P de la rangée 100.The conductive bars 110, 120, 130, 140 are further arranged so that the opposite major faces of the plates 115, 125, 135, 145 are arranged parallel to each other, perpendicularly to the average plane P of the row 100.

C'est donc la tranche 116, 126, 136, 146 des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 qui est orientée vers l'avant du dispositif 500 de raccordement accessible à l'utilisateur.It is thus the wafer 116, 126, 136, 146 of the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 which is oriented towards the front of the connection device 500 accessible to the user.

L'encombrement des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 est ainsi réduit.The size of the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 is thus reduced.

En variante, une ou plusieurs barres conductrices peuvent être décalées par rapport au plan moyen P des autres barres conductrices ou présenter une largeur ou une épaisseur différente des autres barres conductrices.Alternatively, one or more conductive bars may be offset from the average plane P of the other busbars or have a width or thickness different from the other busbars.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures, le dispositif 500 de raccordement électrique est tétrapolaire. La rangée 100 comporte donc quatre barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140.In the example shown in the figures, the electrical connection device 500 is four-pole. The row 100 thus comprises four busbars 110, 120, 130, 140.

On pourrait néanmoins envisager un dispositif de raccordement électrique selon l'invention comportant deux ou trois barres conductrices, ou plus de quatre barres conductrices.One could nevertheless consider an electrical connection device according to the invention comprising two or three conductive bars, or more than four busbars.

Cette rangée 100 de barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 comporte deux barres conductrices 110, 140 latérales disposées aux extrémités de cette rangée 100 et appelées dans la suite « barres conductrices latérales 110, 140 ».This row 100 of busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 comprises two lateral busbars 110, 140 arranged at the ends of this row 100 and hereinafter referred to as "lateral busbars 110, 140".

De manière classique, chacune des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 comporte au moins un connecteur électrique 111, 112, 121A, 121B, 122, 131A, 131B, 132, 141A, 141B, 142 pour le raccordement électrique desdits appareillages électriques à un réseau électrique.Conventionally, each of the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 comprises at least one electrical connector 111, 112, 121A, 121B, 122, 131A, 131B, 132, 141A, 141B, 142 for the electrical connection of said electrical equipment to an electrical network.

Ici, chaque barre conductrice 110, 120, 130, 140 comporte avantageusement une pluralité de connecteurs électriques 111, 112, 121A, 121B, 122, 131A, 131B, 132, 141A, 141B, 142.Here, each conductive bar 110, 120, 130, 140 advantageously comprises a plurality of electrical connectors 111, 112, 121A, 121B, 122, 131A, 131B, 132, 141A, 141B, 142.

Plus particulièrement, chaque barre conductrice 110, 120 ,130, 140 comporte au moins un connecteur électrique 111, 121A, 121 B, 131A, 131 B, 141A, 141B pour le raccordement de cette barre conductrice avec l'une des rangées d'appareillages électriques 601, 602, 603 du coffret 600; 800 dans lequel le dispositif 500 de raccordement est monté.More particularly, each conductive bar 110, 120, 130, 140 has at least one electrical connector 111, 121A, 121 B, 131A, 131 B, 141A, 141B for connecting this busbar with one of the rows of electrical equipment 601, 602, 603 of the cabinet 600; 800 in which the connecting device 500 is mounted.

Chacun de ces connecteurs électriques 111, 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141 B est disposé entre les deux extrémités libres de chaque barre conductrice 110, 120, 130, 140 et sera désigné par la suite par l'expression « connecteur électrique intermédiaire ».Each of these electrical connectors 111, 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B is disposed between the two free ends of each conducting bar 110, 120, 130, 140 and will be designated hereinafter by the expression "electrical connector intermediate ".

Chaque barre conductrice 110, 120, 130, 140 comporte de préférence une pluralité de connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 111, 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B.Each conductive bar 110, 120, 130, 140 preferably comprises a plurality of intermediate electrical connectors 111, 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B.

Tous les connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 111, 121A, 121 B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B sont disposés en avant des barres conductrices correspondantes 110, 120, 130, 140. Autrement dit, les plaquettes 115, 125, 135, 145 des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 sont situées derrière ces connecteurs électriques intermédiaires dans le dispositif 500.All intermediate electrical connectors 111, 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B are arranged in front of the corresponding busbars 110, 120, 130, 140. In other words, the plates 115, 125, 135, 145 of the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 are located behind these intermediate electrical connectors in the device 500.

Chacune des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 comporte également au moins un connecteur électrique 112, 122, 132, 142 pour son raccordement au réseau électrique.Each of the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 also comprises at least one electrical connector 112, 122, 132, 142 for its connection to the electrical network.

Chacun de ces connecteurs électriques 112, 122, 132, 142 est situé à l'une des extrémités de chaque barre conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 et sera appelé dans la suite « connecteur électrique d'extrémité ».Each of these electrical connectors 112, 122, 132, 142 is located at one end of each busbar 110, 120, 130, 140 and will be referred to in the following "electrical end connector".

Chaque barre conductrice 110, 120, 130, 140 de la rangée 100 comporte de préférence deux connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 112, 122, 132, 142 situés chacun à l'une de ses extrémités libres.Each conductive bar 110, 120, 130, 140 of the row 100 preferably comprises two electrical end connectors 112, 122, 132, 142 each located at one of its free ends.

Ainsi, le dispositif 500 de raccordement peut être raccordé à ses deux extrémités libres aux câbles d'alimentation du réseau électrique (non représenté sur les figures).Thus, the connection device 500 can be connected at its two free ends to the power supply cables of the electrical network (not shown in the figures).

Ces câbles d'alimentation pénètrent généralement dans le coffret électrique 600; 800 correspondant par une ou plusieurs ouvertures d'accès ménagées dans une paroi latérale supérieure 620 ou inférieure 630 du coffret 600; 800 (voir les figures 12 et 13).These power cables usually enter the electrical box 600; 800 corresponding by one or more access openings formed in an upper side wall 620 or lower 630 of the cabinet 600; 800 (see figures 12 and 13 ).

Il est donc avantageux de pouvoir raccorder les câbles d'alimentation du réseau électrique à celle des extrémités libres du dispositif 500 qui est orientée vers la paroi latérale supérieure 620 ou inférieure 630 du coffret 600; 800 qui présente ladite ouverture d'accès.It is therefore advantageous to be able to connect the power supply cables of the electrical network to that of the free ends of the device 500 which is oriented towards the upper side wall 620 or lower 630 of the cabinet 600; 800 which has said access opening.

Tous les connecteurs électriques 111, 112, 121A, 121B, 122, 131A, 131B, 132, 141A, 141 B, 142 des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 de ladite rangée 100 sont disposés dans un espace compris entre lesdites deux barres conductrices latérales 110, 140.All electrical connectors 111, 112, 121A, 121B, 122, 131A, 131B, 132, 141A, 141 B, 142 of the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 of said row 100 are arranged in a space between said two lateral busbars 110, 140.

La largeur du dispositif de raccordement 500 mesurée selon une direction transversale Y perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal X (figures 1, 2, 3 et 7) dans le plan moyen P des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 est ainsi minimale. Elle est en effet alors égale à l'écart entre les barres conductrices latérales 110, 140.The width of the connecting device 500 measured in a transverse direction Y perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X ( figures 1 , 2 , 3 and 7 ) in the mean plane P of the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 is thus minimal. It is indeed equal to the distance between the lateral busbars 110, 140.

Ceci est rendu possible par le fait que chaque connecteur électrique intermédiaire et d'extrémité 111, 112 d'au moins une 110 des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 est décalé suivant l'axe longitudinal X de ladite barre conductrice 110 par rapport aux connecteurs électriques intermédiaires et d'extrémité 121A, 121B, 122, 131A, 131B, 132, 141A, 141B, 142 de toutes les autres barres conductrices 120, 130, 140 (figures 1, 2 et 3).This is made possible by the fact that each intermediate and end electrical connector 111, 112 of at least one 110 of the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 is offset along the longitudinal axis X of said busbar 110 relative to at the intermediate and end electrical connectors 121A, 121B, 122, 131A, 131B, 132, 141A, 141B, 142 of all the other busbars 120, 130, 140 ( figures 1 , 2 and 3 ).

Comme le montrent les figures 1, 2 et 3, il s'agit ici des connecteurs électriques intermédiaires et d'extrémité 111, 112 de l'une 110 des barres conductrices latérales 110, 140.As shown by figures 1 , 2 and 3 these are intermediate and end electrical connectors 111, 112 of one 110 of the lateral busbars 110, 140.

Les connecteurs électriques intermédiaires et d'extrémité 111, 112 de cette barre conductrice latérale 110 dont les conducteurs sont décalés ne se trouvent donc jamais alignés selon la direction transversale Y avec un ou plusieurs connecteurs électriques intermédiaires ou d'extrémité des autres barres conductrices 120, 130, 140 (figures 1 et 3).The intermediate and end electrical connectors 111, 112 of this lateral conductor bar 110 whose conductors are offset are therefore never aligned in the transverse direction Y with one or more intermediate or end electrical connectors of the other busbars 120, 130, 140 ( figures 1 and 3 ).

Cette barre conductrice latérale 110 dont les connecteurs électriques intermédiaires et d'extrémité 111, 112 sont décalés correspond ici à la barre conductrice conduisant le courant de neutre. Elle sera désignée par la suite par l'expression « barre conductrice latérale de neutre 110 ».This lateral conductor bar 110 whose intermediate and end electrical connectors 111, 112 are shifted corresponds here to the conducting bar conducting the neutral current. It will be designated later by the term "neutral side conductor bar 110".

Les trois autres barres conductrices 120, 130, 140 correspondent ici aux barres conductrices conduisant le courant de phase. Elles seront désignées par la suite par l'expression « barres conductrices de phase 120, 130, 140 ».The other three busbars 120, 130, 140 correspond here to the busbars conducting the phase current. They will be referred to hereafter as "120, 130, 140 phase busbars".

En variante, la barre conductrice dont les conducteurs électriques sont décalés longitudinalement peut être l'une des barres conductrices de phase.In a variant, the conductive bar whose electrical conductors are offset longitudinally may be one of the phase-conducting bars.

De manière remarquable, le dispositif 500 de raccordement selon l'invention comporte des sous-ensembles de connexion 150A, 150B, 160 qui regroupent des connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 111, 121A, 131A, 141A, 121 B, 131B, 141B des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 alignés les uns à côtés des autres suivant la direction transversale Y auxdites barres conductrices.Remarkably, the connecting device 500 according to the invention comprises connection subassemblies 150A, 150B, 160 which group intermediate electrical connectors 111, 121A, 131A, 141A, 121B, 131B, 141B of the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 aligned next to each other in the transverse direction Y to said bus bars.

Il est prévu de préférence au moins un sous-ensemble de connexion 150A, 150B de phase qui comprend un connecteur électrique intermédiaire 121A, 131A, 141A, 121 B, 131B, 141 B de chaque barre conductrice de phase 120, 130, 140 mais aucun connecteur électrique intermédiaire 111 de ladite barre conductrice latérale de neutre 110.It is preferably provided at least one subset of connection 150A, 150B of phase which comprises an intermediate electrical connector 121A, 131A, 141A, 121B, 131B, 141B of each phase conductive bar 120, 130, 140 but no intermediate electrical connector 111 of said neutral side conductor bar 110.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 1, 2, 3 et 7, il est plus particulièrement prévu quatre sous-ensembles de connexion 150A, 150B de phase.In the example shown on the figures 1 , 2 , 3 and 7 it is more particularly provided four connection subassemblies 150A, 150B of phase.

Ces sous-ensembles de connexion 150A, 150B de phase sont de préférence groupés par paire 150 le long de l'axe longitudinal X des barres conductrices 120, 130, 140.These phase connection subassemblies 150A, 150B are preferably grouped in pairs 150 along the longitudinal axis X of the busbars 120, 130, 140.

Comme le montrent les figures 1, 3, 4 et 5, les deux connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 121A, 121 B, 131A, 131 B, 141A, 141 B issus de chaque barres conductrices de phase 120, 130, 140 et appartenant à une même paire 150 de sous-ensembles de connexion 150A, 150B de phase sont rattachés à la barre conductrice de phase 120, 130, 140 correspondante par l'intermédiaire d'une unique patte 123, 133, 143.As shown by figures 1 , 3 , 4 and 5 , the two intermediate electrical connectors 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B coming from each phase conducting busbars 120, 130, 140 and belonging to the same pair 150 of phase 150A, 150B connection subassemblies are connected to the phase conductive bar 120, 130, 140 corresponding via a single tab 123, 133, 143.

Cette patte 123, 133, 143 est ici formée d'une seule pièce avec la plaquette 125, 135, 145 formant le corps de la barre conductrice 120, 130, 140 correspondante, dans le prolongement de cette plaquette 125, 135, 145, et s'étend vers l'avant du dispositif 500, à partir de la tranche 126, 136, 146 de la plaquette 125, 135, 145 de la barre conductrice 120, 130, 140 correspondante.This lug 123, 133, 143 is here formed in one piece with the plate 125, 135, 145 forming the body of the corresponding busbar 120, 130, 140, in the extension of this plate 125, 135, 145, and extends towards the front of the device 500, from the wafer 126, 136, 146 of the wafer 125, 135, 145 of the corresponding conducting bar 120, 130, 140.

Cette patte 123, 133, 143 comporte deux ailes latérales 124, 134, 144 qui s'étendent à angle droit par rapport à la plaquette 125, 135, 145 formant le corps de la barre conductrice 120, 130, 140 correspondante, au dessus de la tranche 126, 136, 146 de cette plaquette (figures 3, 4 et 5).This tab 123, 133, 143 comprises two lateral wings 124, 134, 144 which extend at right angles to the plate 125, 135, 145 forming the body of the corresponding conductive bar 120, 130, 140, above the edge 126, 136, 146 of this plate ( figures 3 , 4 and 5 ).

Ces deux ailes latérales 124, 134, 144 sont formées par découpe de deux encoches à la base de ladite patte 123, 133, 143, le long de la tranche 126, 136, 146 de la plaquette 125, 135, 145 et pliage des bords ainsi découpés de cette patte 123, 133, 143 (figures 3, 4 et 5).These two lateral wings 124, 134, 144 are formed by cutting two notches at the base of said tab 123, 133, 143, along the edge 126, 136, 146 of the plate 125, 135, 145 and folding the edges. cut from this tab 123, 133, 143 ( figures 3 , 4 and 5 ).

Ici, les ailes latérales 124, 134, 144 de chaque patte 123, 133, 143 de chaque barre conductrice 120, 130, 140 s'étendent dans l'espace compris entre la plaquette formant le corps de la barre conductrice à laquelle elles sont rattachées et la plaquette de la barre conductrice voisine, vers l'intérieur du dispositif 500 de raccordement (figures 1, 2, 3 et 4).Here, the lateral wings 124, 134, 144 of each tab 123, 133, 143 of each conductive bar 120, 130, 140 extend in the space between the plate forming the body of the busbar to which they are attached. and the plate of the adjacent conductive bar, towards the inside of the connection device 500 ( figures 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 ).

La patte 123, 133, 143 et ses deux ailes latérales 124, 134, 144 présentent donc un profil en U à l'intérieur duquel sont disposées deux lames ressort 127, 137, 147 formant deux bornes de connexion automatique à ressort classiques dans lesquelles l'une des deux ailes latérales 124, 134, 144 joue le rôle de lame conductrice.The tab 123, 133, 143 and its two lateral wings 124, 134, 144 thus have a U-shaped profile inside which are disposed two spring blades 127, 137, 147 forming two spring-loaded automatic connection terminals. in which one of the two lateral wings 124, 134, 144 acts as a conductive blade.

Chaque aile latérale 124, 134, 144 comporte une extrémité libre 124A, 134A, 144A avant inclinée vers l'extrémité libre 124A, 134A, 144A avant de l'autre aile latérale.Each side wing 124, 134, 144 has a free end 124A, 134A, 144A forward inclined towards the free end 124A, 134A, 144A before the other side wing.

Chaque lame ressort 127, 137, 147 forme une boucle dont une branche est pourvue d'une ouverture au travers de laquelle émerge cette extrémité libre 124A, 134A, 144A de l'aile latérale 124, 134, 144 correspondante (voir figures 3 et 4).Each leaf spring 127, 137, 147 forms a loop, a branch of which is provided with an opening through which this free end 124A, 134A, 144A emerges from the corresponding lateral wing 124, 134, 144 (see FIG. figures 3 and 4 ).

L'autre branche de la lame ressort 127, 137, 147 prend appui contre une face interne de l'aile latérale 124, 134, 144 correspondante. Cette branche est bloquée contre cette face interne par l'extrémité libre 124A, 134A, 144A inclinée de l'aile latérale correspondante.The other branch of the leaf spring 127, 137, 147 bears against an inner face of the lateral flange 124, 134, 144 corresponding. This branch is locked against this inner face by the free end 124A, 134A, 144A inclined the corresponding lateral wing.

L'inclinaison de l'extrémité libre 124A, 134A, 144A permet également de faciliter l'introduction du conducteur dans le connecteur électrique intermédiaire 121A, 121 B, 131A, 131 B, 141A, 141 B correspondant.The inclination of the free end 124A, 134A, 144A also facilitates the insertion of the conductor into the intermediate electrical connector 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B corresponding.

Cette disposition de deux lames ressort 127, 137, 147 dans un profil en U permet de former deux connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 121A, 121B, 131A, 131 B, 141A, 141 B dans un espace réduit.This arrangement of two leaf spring 127, 137, 147 in a U-shaped profile makes it possible to form two intermediate electrical connectors 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B in a reduced space.

Le nombre de connecteurs électriques intermédiaires de phase le long du dispositif 500 peut avantageusement être augmenté.The number of intermediate phase electrical connectors along the device 500 can advantageously be increased.

Les pattes 123, 133, 143 issues des trois barres conductrices de phase 120, 130, 140 et supportant les connecteurs électriques intermédiaire d'une paire 150 de sous-ensembles de connexion 150A, 150B sont disposées parallèlement les unes aux autres et alignées selon la direction de l'axe transversal Y, de telle sorte que les connecteurs électriques de chaque sous-ensembles de connexion 150A, 150B correspondant soit également alignés selon cette direction.The tabs 123, 133, 143 coming from the three phase conducting bars 120, 130, 140 and supporting the intermediate electrical connectors of a pair 150 of connection subassemblies 150A, 150B are arranged parallel to each other and aligned according to the direction of the transverse axis Y, so that the electrical connectors of each connection subassemblies 150A, 150B corresponding is also aligned in this direction.

Il est également prévu des sous-ensembles de connexion 160 de neutre comprenant uniquement des connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 111 de ladite barre conductrice latérale de neutre 110 dont les connecteurs électriques intermédiaires et d'extrémité 111, 112 sont décalés longitudinalement par rapport aux connecteurs électriques intermédiaires et d'extrémité 121A, 121 B, 122, 131A, 131B, 132, 141A, 141B, 142 des autres barres conductrices 120, 130, 140.Neutral connection subassemblies 160 are also provided comprising only intermediate electrical connectors 111 of said neutral lateral conducting bar 110 whose intermediate and end electrical connectors 111, 112 are offset longitudinally with respect to the intermediate electrical connectors and end 121A, 121B, 122, 131A, 131B, 132, 141A, 141B, 142 of the other busbars 120, 130, 140.

Chaque sous-ensemble de connexion 160 comprend plus particulièrement ici trois connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 111 rattachés à la barre conductrice de neutre 110.Each connection subassembly 160 more particularly comprises three intermediate electrical connectors 111 attached to the neutral conducting bar 110.

Comme le montrent les figures 1, 2 et 3, les trois connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 111 issus de cette barre conductrice de neutre 110 sont rattachés à celle-ci par l'intermédiaire d'une patte 113, de manière similaire aux connecteurs électriques intermédiaires de phase.As shown by figures 1 , 2 and 3 , the three electrical connectors intermediates 111 from this neutral conducting bar 110 are attached thereto via a tab 113, similarly to the intermediate phase electrical connectors.

Cette patte 113 est ici formée d'une seule pièce avec la barre conductrice de neutre 110 et s'étend vers l'avant, à partir de la tranche 116 de la barre conductrice de neutre 110.This lug 113 is here formed in one piece with the neutral conducting bar 110 and extends forwardly from the wafer 116 of the neutral conducting bar 110.

Cette patte 113 comporte ici une seule aile 114 latérale formée par découpe d'une encoche à la base de ladite patte 113, le long de la tranche 116 de la plaquette 115 formant le corps de la barre conductrice de neutre 110 et pliage d'une partie de cette patte 113 selon un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal X des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 de la rangée 100.This tab 113 here comprises a single side wing 114 formed by cutting a notch at the base of said tab 113, along the wafer 116 of the wafer 115 forming the body of the neutral conducting bar 110 and folding a part of this tab 113 in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 of the row 100.

Cette aile 114 latérale s'étend au dessus des tranches 116, 126, 136, 146 des plaquettes 115, 125, 135, 145 des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140, dans l'espace compris entre la barre conductrice latérale de neutre 110 et l'autre barre conductrice latérale 140 (figures 2 et 3).This lateral flange 114 extends above the wafers 116, 126, 136, 146 of the wafers 115, 125, 135, 145 of the conducting bars 110, 120, 130, 140, in the space between the lateral neutral conducting bar 110 and the other lateral conductor bar 140 ( figures 2 and 3 ).

A partir du bord avant de cette aile 114 de la patte 113 s'étendent trois languettes inclinées 114A qui jouent le rôle des extrémités libres inclinées 124A, 134A, 144A des ailes latérales 124, 134, 144 des pattes 123, 133, 143 portant les lames ressort 127, 137, 147 des autres connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B.From the front edge of this flange 114 of the tab 113 extend three inclined tongues 114A which act as the inclined free ends 124A, 134A, 144A of the lateral wings 124, 134, 144 of the legs 123, 133, 143 carrying the spring blades 127, 137, 147 of the other intermediate electrical connectors 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B.

Une lame ressort 117 en forme de boucle est accrochée à chacune de ces trois languettes inclinées 114A. Chaque languette inclinée 114A traverse l'ouverture de l'une des branches de la lame ressort 117 correspondante tandis que l'autre branche de cette lame ressort 117 est plaquée contre une face de l'aile 114 orientée du côté de la patte 113 correspondante, et bloquée par la languette inclinée 114A correspondante.A spring leaf 117 in the form of a loop is attached to each of these three inclined tongues 114A. Each inclined tongue 114A passes through the opening of one of the branches of the corresponding leaf spring 117 while the other leg of this leaf spring 117 is pressed against one side of the wing 114 oriented towards the corresponding leg 113, and blocked by the corresponding inclined tongue 114A.

L'inclinaison des languettes 114A permet également de faciliter l'introduction du conducteur dans le connecteur électrique intermédiaire 111 correspondant.The inclination of the tongues 114A also makes it easier to introduce the conductor into the corresponding intermediate electrical connector 111.

Les trois lames ressort 127, 137, 147 connectées à l'aile 114 de chaque patte 113 de la barre conductrice de neutre 110 sont disposées parallèlement les unes aux autres et alignées selon la direction de l'axe transversal Y.The three spring blades 127, 137, 147 connected to the flange 114 of each tab 113 of the neutral conducting bar 110 are arranged parallel to each other and aligned in the direction of the transverse axis Y.

Finalement, les trois connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 111 qui forment chaque sous-ensemble de connexion 160 de neutre sont donc disposés en rangée, sensiblement parallèlement aux connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 121A, 121 B, 131A, 131 B, 141A, 141 B des barres conductrices de phase 120, 130, 140 qui forment les sous-ensembles 150A, 150B de phase.Finally, the three intermediate electrical connectors 111 which form each neutral connection subassembly 160 are therefore arranged in a row, substantially parallel to the intermediate electrical connectors 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B of the phase conducting bars. 120, 130, 140 which form the subassemblies 150A, 150B of phase.

En outre, chaque connecteur électrique intermédiaire 111 de la barre conductrice de neutre 110 est sensiblement aligné avec les connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 121A, 121B, 131A, 131AB, 141A, 141B issus de l'une des barres conductrices de phase 120, 130, 140 (figure 1).In addition, each intermediate electrical connector 111 of the neutral conducting bar 110 is substantially aligned with the intermediate electrical connectors 121A, 121B, 131A, 131AB, 141A, 141B coming from one of the phase busbars 120, 130, 140 ( figure 1 ).

De préférence, les connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 111, 121A, 121 B, 131A, 131 B, 141A, 141B de toutes les barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 sont situés à une même distance de la barre conductrice à laquelle ils sont rattachés, de manière à ce que les ouvertures des bornes automatiques à ressort correspondantes soient toutes situées sensiblement dans un même plan.Preferably, the intermediate electrical connectors 111, 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B of all the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 are located at the same distance from the busbar to which they are attached, so that the openings of the corresponding automatic spring terminals are all located substantially in the same plane.

En variante, si les largeurs des plaquettes formant les barres conductrices varient ou si certaines barres conductrices sont décalées par rapport au plan moyen des autres barres conductrices, les connecteurs électriques intermédiaires sont situés à différentes distances de la barre conductrice correspondante, de manière à ce que les ouvertures des bornes automatiques de ces connecteurs électriques restent disposées dans un même plan.Alternatively, if the widths of the platelets forming the busbars vary or if certain busbars are offset from the mean plane of the other busbars, the intermediate electrical connectors are located at different distances from the corresponding busbar, so that the openings of the automatic terminals of these electrical connectors remain arranged in the same plane.

Il est prévu avantageusement une pluralité de paires 150 de sous-ensembles de connexion de phase 150A, 150B et de sous-ensembles de connexion de neutre 160 répartis longitudinalement sur la longueur des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130 ,140.Advantageously, a plurality of pairs 150 of phase connection subassemblies 150A, 150B and neutral connection subassemblies 160 are distributed longitudinally along the length of the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140.

Plus particulièrement, il est prévu de haut en bas du dispositif 500 une alternance de paires 150 de sous-ensembles de connexion de phase 150A, 150B et de sous-ensembles de connexion de neutre 160 (figure 3).More particularly, there is provided from top to bottom of the device 500 an alternation of pairs 150 of phase connection subassemblies 150A, 150B and of neutral connection subassemblies 160 ( figure 3 ).

Un sous-ensemble de connexion de neutre 160 est placé à proximité de chaque paire 150 de sous-ensembles de connexion de phase 150A, 150B et l'ensemble est disposé de manière à se trouver à proximité d'une rangée d'appareillages électriques dans le coffret : ces ensembles sont espacés sur le dispositif 500 d'un écart sensiblement égal à l'écart entre deux rangées d'appareillages électrique dans le coffret électrique 600; 800.A neutral connection subassembly 160 is placed near each pair 150 of phase connection subassemblies 150A, 150B and the assembly is arranged to be near a row of electrical equipment in the box: these sets are spaced on the device 500 by a distance substantially equal to the distance between two rows of electrical equipment in the electrical box 600; 800.

Ainsi, il est prévu une paire 150 de sous-ensembles de connexion de phase 150A, 150B et un sous-ensemble de connexion de neutre 160 pour chaque rangée d'appareillages électriques du coffret alimentée par le dispositif 500.Thus, there is provided a pair 150 of phase connection subassemblies 150A, 150B and a neutral connection subassembly 160 for each row of electrical equipment of the cabinet powered by the device 500.

Les connecteurs électriques d'extrémités 112, 122, 132, 142 de chaque barre conductrice 110, 120, 130, 140 forment également un sous-ensemble de connexion 170 à chaque extrémité libre de la rangée 100 de barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140.The electrical end connectors 112, 122, 132, 142 of each busbar 110, 120, 130, 140 also form a connection subassembly 170 at each free end of the row 100 of busbars 110, 120, 130, 140.

Ils comportent chacun une borne à vis (figures 1, 3 et 5)They each have a screw terminal ( figures 1 , 3 and 5 )

Ces connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 112, 122, 132, 142 sont rattachés chacun à la plaquette 115, 125, 135, 145 formant le corps de la barre conductrice 110, 120, 130, 140 correspondante par un bras 118, 128, 138, 148 conducteur en métal clinché à l'extrémité de ladite plaquette.These end electrical connectors 112, 122, 132, 142 are each attached to the wafer 115, 125, 135, 145 forming the body of the conductive bar 110, 120, 130, 140 corresponding by an arm 118, 128, 138, 148 conductor metal clinché at the end of said wafer.

Le clinchage de ce bras 118, 128, 138, 148 conducteur présente l'avantage de limiter les coûts de production en évitant la formation de rebuts comme ce serait le cas si le bras et la plaquette correspondante étaient découpés d'une seule pièce.The clinching of this arm 118, 128, 138, 148 conductor has the advantage of limiting the production costs by avoiding the formation of waste as would be the case if the arm and the corresponding wafer were cut in one piece.

Les connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 112, 122, 132, 142 de toutes les barres conductrices 110, 120, 131, 140 sont semblables au connecteur d'extrémité 142 de la barre conductrice de phase 140 représenté plus particulièrement sur la figure 5. Seul ce connecteur d'extrémité 142 particulier sera ainsi décrit plus en détail en référence à cette figure 5.The end electrical connectors 112, 122, 132, 142 of all the busbars 110, 120, 131, 140 are similar to the end connector 142 of the phase busbar 140 shown more particularly on the figure 5 . Only this particular end connector 142 will thus be described in more detail with reference to this figure 5 .

Chaque connecteur d'extrémité 142 comporte de manière classique une cage 142A fixée à l'extrémité du bras 148 le reliant à la barre conductrice 140.Each end connector 142 conventionally comprises a cage 142A attached to the end of the arm 148 connecting it to the conductive bar 140.

Cette cage 142A présente une ouverture 142C ouverte selon l'axe longitudinal X de la barre conductrice 140, de telle sorte que l'insertion des câbles d'alimentation pour le raccord électrique du dispositif 500 de raccordement au réseau électrique se fasse selon l'axe longitudinal X du dispositif 500.This cage 142A has an opening 142C open along the longitudinal axis X of the conductive bar 140, so that the insertion of the power cables for the electrical connection of the device 500 for connection to the electrical network is along the axis longitudinal X of the device 500.

La cage 142A accueille en face avant une vis 142B adaptée à bloquer, lorsqu'elle est vissée dans la cage 142A, l'extrémité dénudée du câble d'alimentation insérée dans l'ouverture 142C contre une extrémité libre 148A du bras 148 logée dans cette cage 142A.The cage 142A receives on the front face a screw 142B adapted to lock, when it is screwed into the cage 142A, the stripped end of the power cable inserted in the opening 142C against a free end 148A of the arm 148 housed in this cage 142A.

La vis 142B est donc accessible à l'utilisateur en face avant du dispositif 500 de raccordement.The screw 142B is therefore accessible to the user on the front face of the connection device 500.

Les bras 128, 138, 148 reliant les connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 122, 132, 142 des barres conductrices de phase 120, 130, 140 à celles-ci sont ici coudées, de telle sorte que les connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 122, 132, 142 de ces barres conductrices de phase 120, 130, 140 sont disposés en avant par rapport aux barres conductrices de phase 120, 130, 140.The arms 128, 138, 148 connecting the electrical end connectors 122, 132, 142 of the phase conducting bars 120, 130, 140 to these are here bent, so that the electrical end connectors 122, 132 , 142 of these phase conductive bars 120, 130, 140 are arranged forward with respect to the phase conductive bars 120, 130, 140.

Les connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 112 de la barre conductrice de neutre 110 sont, comme tous les connecteurs électriques de la barre de neutre 110, décalés longitudinalement par rapport aux connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 122, 132, 142 des barres conductrices de phase 120, 130, 140.The electrical end connectors 112 of the neutral conducting bar 110 are, like all the electrical connectors of the neutral bar 110, offset longitudinally with respect to the end electrical connectors 122, 132, 142 of the phase conducting bars 120, 130, 140.

En outre, ils sont disposés en retrait par rapport aux connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 122, 132, 142 des barres conductrices de phase 120, 130, 140 comme cela est particulièrement bien visible sur la figure 9.In addition, they are arranged recessed with respect to the end electrical connectors 122, 132, 142 of the phase conducting bars 120, 130, 140 as is particularly clearly visible on the figure 9 .

Ici, le bras 118 reliant les connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 112 de la barre conductrice de neutre 110 à celle-ci s'étend dans selon le plan moyen P de la rangée 100 de barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140.Here, the arm 118 connecting the end electrical connectors 112 of the Neutral conductor bar 110 therethrough extends in the mean plane P of row 100 of busbars 110, 120, 130, 140.

En variante, ce bras peut s'étendre légèrement en avant ou en arrière du plan moyen P de la rangée.Alternatively, this arm may extend slightly in front of or behind the average plane P of the row.

Ce bras 118 est ici replié à angle droit en direction des barres conductrices de phase 120, 130, 140, vers l'intérieur du dispositif 500 de raccordement, de manière à amener le connecteur électrique d'extrémité 112 de la barre conductrice de neutre 110 sous les bras 128, 138 reliant les connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 122, 132 aux barres conductrices de phase voisines (voir la figure 9).This arm 118 is here folded at right angles towards the phase conductive bars 120, 130, 140, towards the inside of the connection device 500, so as to bring the end electrical connector 112 of the neutral conducting bar 110 into position. under the arms 128, 138 connecting the end electrical connectors 122, 132 to the adjacent phase busbars (see FIG. figure 9 ).

Plus précisément, chaque connecteur électrique d'extrémité 112 de la barre conductrice de neutre 110 est amené en regard de l'espace libre laissé entre les deux bras 128, 138 reliant les connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 122, 132 voisins aux plaquettes 125, 135 formant le corps des barres conductrices de phase 120, 130 correspondantes.More specifically, each end electrical connector 112 of the neutral conducting bar 110 is brought opposite the free space left between the two arms 128, 138 connecting the adjacent electrical end connectors 122, 132 to the plates 125, 135 forming the body of the phase conductive bars 120, 130 corresponding.

La vis de la cage du connecteur électrique d'extrémité 112 de la barre conductrice de neutre 110 est ainsi accessible à l'utilisateur entre les bras 128, 138 reliant les connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 122, 132 voisins aux barres conductrices de phase 120, 130 correspondantes.The screw of the cage of the electrical end connector 112 of the neutral conducting bar 110 is thus accessible to the user between the arms 128, 138 connecting the adjacent electrical end connectors 122, 132 to the phase conducting bars 120, 130 corresponding.

Ici les connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 122, 132, 142 des barres conductrices de phase 120, 130, 140 ne sont pas tous alignés selon une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal X des barres conductrices correspondantes.Here the end electrical connectors 122, 132, 142 of the phase busbars 120, 130, 140 are not all aligned in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of the corresponding busbars.

On peut évidemment prévoir en variante qu'ils soient tous alignés ou au contraire tous désalignés.One can obviously provide in a variant that they are all aligned or on the contrary all misaligned.

Comme le montrent les figures 6, 7, 8 et 12 à 15, une partie de la rangée 100 de barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 est entourée par des flasques isolants 201, 202 et le reste de cette rangée 100 est recouverte par l'enveloppe isolante extérieure 300, de manière à ce que la rangée 100 de barres conductrices 110, 120 ,130, 140 soit entièrement isolée électriquement et puisse être manipulée par l'utilisateur de manière parfaitement sécurisée.As shown by Figures 6, 7, 8 and 12 to 15 a part of the row 100 of conducting bars 110, 120, 130, 140 is surrounded by insulating flanges 201, 202 and the remainder of this row 100 is covered by the outer insulating jacket 300, so that the row 100 of busbars 110, 120, 130, 140 is fully electrically isolated and can be handled by the user in a perfectly secure manner.

Plus particulièrement, les flasques isolants 201, 202 sont des capots qui recouvrent les connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 111, 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B de l'ensemble de barres conductrices 110, 120, 130 ,140.More particularly, the insulating flanges 201, 202 are covers that cover the intermediate electrical connectors 111, 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B of the set of busbars 110, 120, 130, 140.

Ces flasques isolants 201, 202 sont réalisées par exemple par moulage d'une matière thermoplastique.These insulating flanges 201, 202 are made for example by molding a thermoplastic material.

Chaque flasque isolant 201, 202 présente une forme standardisée adaptée à recouvrir soit un sous-ensemble de connexion de neutre 160, soit une paire 150 de sous-ensembles de connexion de phase 150A, 150B.Each insulating flange 201, 202 has a standardized shape adapted to cover either a neutral connection sub-assembly 160, or a 150 pairs of phase connection subassemblies 150A, 150B.

Il est prévu ici par exemple un flasque isolant 201 présentant une forme adaptée à son montage autour de chaque sous-ensemble de connexion de neutre 160 et un flasque isolant 202 présentant une forme adaptée à son montage autour de chaque paire 150 de sous-ensembles de connexion de phase 150A, 150B (figure 7).For example, an insulating flange 201 having a shape adapted to its mounting around each neutral connection subassembly 160 and an insulating flange 202 having a shape adapted to its mounting around each pair 150 of subassemblies of FIG. phase connection 150A, 150B ( figure 7 ).

Ces flasques isolants 201, 202 comportent en face avant des ouvertures adaptées au passage de câble de raccordement et situées en vis-à-vis des ouvertures des lames ressort 117, 127, 137, 147 des connecteurs électriques intermédiaires 111, 121A, 121 B, 131A, 131 B, 141A, 141 B du dispositif 500.These insulating flanges 201, 202 comprise on the front face openings adapted to the passage of connecting cable and located opposite the openings of the spring blades 117, 127, 137, 147 of the intermediate electrical connectors 111, 121A, 121B, 131A, 131B, 141A, 141B of the device 500.

Ces câbles de raccordement permettent ainsi de connecter électriquement les appareillages électriques de tête de chaque rangée d'appareillages électrique 601, 602, 603 au dispositif 500 de raccordement.These connection cables thus make it possible to electrically connect the electrical equipment at the head of each row of electrical equipment 601, 602, 603 to the connection device 500.

Le montage de ces flasques isolants 201, 202 sur les sous-ensembles de connexion se fait par exemple par emboitement ou par encliquetage. Les flasques isolants 201, 202 peuvent également être simplement posés sur les rangées lors de l'assemblage du dispositif 500 et maintenus en place par l'enveloppe isolante extérieure 300.The mounting of these insulating flanges 201, 202 on the connection subassemblies is done for example by interlocking or latching. The insulating flanges 201, 202 may also simply be placed on the rows during assembly of the device 500 and held in place by the outer insulating jacket 300.

Ce montage des flasques isolants est dans tous les cas rapide et aisé.This assembly insulating flanges is in any case fast and easy.

En outre, la présence de ces flasques isolants réduit la distance minimale de sécurité imposée entre les connecteurs électriques et permet de rapprocher ceux-ci, par exemple pour former les paires de sous-ensembles de connexion de phase, ou pour augmenter le nombre de connecteurs électriques de chaque barre conductrice.In addition, the presence of these insulating flanges reduces the minimum safety distance imposed between the electrical connectors and makes it possible to bring them closer, for example to form the pairs of phase connection subassemblies, or to increase the number of connectors. each conductor bar.

Les barres conductrices sont par ailleurs enfermées dans l'enveloppe isolante extérieure 300.The conductive bars are also enclosed in the outer insulation casing 300.

Celle-ci comporte des fenêtres 360 (figure 6) à travers lesquelles émergent les flasques isolants 201, 202 qui recouvrent les sous-ensembles de connexion 150A, 150B, 160.It has 360 windows ( figure 6 ) through which emerge the insulating flanges 201, 202 which cover the connection subassemblies 150A, 150B, 160.

Cette enveloppe isolante extérieure 300 est constituée ici de deux parties avant 300A et arrière 300B, représentées respectivement sur les figures 6 et 8, comprenant des moyens d'assemblage l'une avec l'autre.This outer insulating envelope 300 is constituted here of two front portions 300A and 300B rear, respectively represented on the Figures 6 and 8 , comprising means of assembly with each other.

Il s'agit ici par exemple de moyens de vissage, de moyens d'emboitement ou d'encliquetage.This is for example screwing means, interlocking means or latching.

Ces parties avant 300A et arrière 300B sont par exemple réalisées par moulage d'un matériau thermoplastique.These front portions 300A and 300B rear are for example made by molding a thermoplastic material.

La partie avant 300A de l'enveloppe isolante extérieure 300 forme la paroi avant 320 du dispositif 500 et la partie centrale 330A des parois latérales longitudinales 330 du dispositif 500 de raccordement (figure 6).The front portion 300A of the outer insulation casing 300 forms the front wall 320 of the device 500 and the central portion 330A of the longitudinal side walls 330 of the connecting device 500 ( figure 6 ).

La paroi avant 320 du dispositif 500 comporte à chacune de ses extrémités libres des ouvertures d'accès 321, 322 donnant accès aux vis 142C des bornes à vis des connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 112, 122, 132, 142 (figures 6 et 10).The front wall 320 of the device 500 has at each of its free ends access openings 321, 322 giving access to the screws 142C of the screw terminals of the electrical end connectors 112, 122, 132, 142 ( figures 6 and 10 ).

Le connecteur électrique d'extrémité 112 de la barre conductrice de neutre 110 étant situé en retrait des autres connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 122, 132, 142 et étant décalé longitudinalement par rapport aux autres connecteurs d'extrémité 122, 132, 142, l'introduction du câble d'alimentation correspondant dans ce connecteur est moins aisée que pour les autres connecteurs d'extrémité.The electrical end connector 112 of the neutral conducting bar 110 is set back from the other electrical end connectors 122, 132, 142 and is offset longitudinally with respect to the other end connectors 122, 132, 142, the introduction of the corresponding power cable into this connector is less easy than for other end connectors.

Pour faciliter cette introduction, il est prévu en plus de l'ouverture d'accès 322 donnant accès à la vis de ce connecteur d'extrémité 112, un orifice 323 (figures 6, 10 et 14) permettant à l'utilisateur de visualiser la partie dénudée du câble d'alimentation lorsque celle-ci approche de l'ouverture de la cage de ce connecteur électrique d'extrémité 112.To facilitate this introduction, in addition to the access opening 322 giving access to the screw of this end connector 112, an orifice 323 (FIG. figures 6 , 10 and 14 ) allowing the user to view the stripped portion of the power cable when it approaches the opening of the cage of the electrical end connector 112.

La partie arrière 300B de l'enveloppe isolante extérieure 300 forme les parois supérieure 310 et inférieure 311 du dispositif 500, situées aux extrémités libres du dispositif 500, la paroi arrière 340 et les parties extrêmes 330B des parois latérales 330 du dispositif 500 de raccordement (figure 8).The rear portion 300B of the outer insulating jacket 300 forms the upper and lower walls 310 of the device 500, located at the free ends of the device 500, the rear wall 340 and the end portions 330B of the side walls 330 of the connecting device 500 ( figure 8 ).

La paroi supérieure 310 du dispositif 500 sera ici la paroi de l'extrémité libre du dispositif 500 disposée vers le haut du coffret 600; 800 lorsque le dispositif 500 est placée à gauche des rails 611, 612, 613 de montage des appareillages électriques dans le coffret (figure 12).The upper wall 310 of the device 500 here will be the wall of the free end of the device 500 disposed upwardly of the box 600; 800 when the device 500 is placed to the left of the rails 611, 612, 613 for mounting the electrical equipment in the box ( figure 12 ).

Les parois supérieure 310 et inférieure 311 comportent des orifices 312 (figures 8 et 10) disposés en regard des ouvertures 142C des cages 142A des connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 112, 122, 132, 142 et qui autorisent l'insertion des câbles d'alimentation du dispositif 500 dans ces connecteurs électriques d'extrémité 112, 122, 132, 142 des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140.The upper and lower walls 310 and 311 have orifices 312 ( figures 8 and 10 ) arranged opposite the openings 142C of the cages 142A of the electrical end connectors 112, 122, 132, 142 and which allow the insertion of the supply cables of the device 500 into these end electrical connectors 112, 122, 132, 142 of the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140.

En outre, la partie arrière 300B de l'enveloppe isolante extérieure 300 forme trois cloisons 370 isolantes venant s'interposer entre les quatre barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140 pour la sécurité électrique du dispositif 500 (figure 8).In addition, the rear portion 300B of the outer insulating jacket 300 forms three isolating partitions 370 interposed between the four conducting bars 110, 120, 130, 140 for the electrical safety of the device 500 ( figure 8 ).

Ces cloisons 370 s'élèvent perpendiculairement à la partie arrière 340 de la partie arrière 300B de l'enveloppe isolante extérieure 300. La hauteur de ces cloisons 370 est inférieure à la largeur des plaquettes 115, 125, 135, 145 formant le corps des barres conductrices 110, 120, 130, 140, c'est-à-dire à la distance entre les parties avant et arrière de la tranche 116, 126, 136, 146 de cette plaquette.These partitions 370 rise perpendicular to the rear portion 340 of the rear portion 300B of the outer insulating jacket 300. The height of these partitions 370 is smaller than the width of the plates 115, 125, 135, 145 forming the body of the busbars 110, 120, 130, 140, that is to say at the distance between the front and rear portions of the wafer 116, 126, 136, 146 of this wafer.

Par ailleurs, les parties centrale et extrêmes 330A, 330B de l'une des deux parois latérales longitudinales 330 de ladite enveloppe isolante extérieure 300 porte sur sa face externe des moyens de réception 331A, 331B à glissière d'éléments de fixation 350 (représentés sur les figures 6, 14 et 15) du dispositif 500 de raccordement dans le coffret 600; 800 correspondant.Furthermore, the central and end portions 330A, 330B of one of the two longitudinal side walls 330 of said outer insulating casing 300 bear on its external face receiving means 331A, 331B with slide fasteners 350 (shown in FIG. the figures 6 , 14 and 15 ) of the connection device 500 in the box 600; 800 corresponding.

Ces moyens de réception 331A, 331 B du dispositif 500 dans le fond du coffret 600; 800 sont disposés asymétriquement seulement sur la face externe de l'une des deux parois latérales longitudinales 330 de la partie avant 300A de cette enveloppe 300, à savoir la paroi latérale longitudinale destinée à être tournée vers les rails 611, 612, 613; 811, 812 de montage des appareillages électriques 601, 602, 603 du coffret 600, 800.These receiving means 331A, 331 B of the device 500 in the bottom of the box 600; 800 are arranged asymmetrically only on the outer face of one of the two longitudinal side walls 330 of the front portion 300A of this envelope 300, namely the longitudinal side wall intended to be turned towards the rails 611, 612, 613; 811, 812 mounting electrical equipment 601, 602, 603 of the cabinet 600, 800.

La paroi latérale longitudinale 330 du dispositif 500 ne comportant pas de moyens de réception 331A, 331 B peut alors être plaquée contre la paroi latérale longitudinale 640, 650 (figures 12 et 13) adjacente du coffret 600; 800 dans lequel le dispositif 500 est monté.The longitudinal side wall 330 of the device 500 having no receiving means 331A, 331B can then be pressed against the longitudinal side wall 640, 650 ( figures 12 and 13 ) adjacent to the cabinet 600; 800 in which the device 500 is mounted.

Cela ne serait pas le cas si les faces externes des deux parois latérales longitudinales 330 du dispositif 500 comportaient des moyens de réception 311A, 311 B car ces moyens de réception présentent une certaine épaisseur.This would not be the case if the external faces of the two longitudinal side walls 330 of the device 500 included receiving means 311A, 311B because these receiving means have a certain thickness.

L'encombrement en largeur du dispositif 500 est ainsi limité pour faciliter son montage à côté des rangées d'appareillages électriques.The overall width of the device 500 is thus limited to facilitate its installation next to the rows of electrical equipment.

Il est alors nécessaire de retourner à 180 degrés le dispositif 500 pour le faire passer du côté gauche des rangées d'appareillages électriques 601, 602, 603 (figure 12) au côté droit (figure 13).It is then necessary to turn the device 500 180 degrees to the left of the rows of electrical equipment 601, 602, 603 ( figure 12 ) on the right side ( figure 13 ).

Il est d'autant plus facile d'opérer ce retournement que le dispositif 500 peut être raccordé au réseau électrique indifféremment par n'importe laquelle de ses extrémités libres, à travers la paroi supérieure 310 ou inférieure 311.It is all the easier to operate this reversal that the device 500 can be connected to the electrical network indifferently by any of its free ends, through the upper wall 310 or lower 311.

Chaque moyen de réception 331A, 331 B comporte deux montants 332 orientés perpendiculairement aux parois avant 320 et arrière 340 de l'enveloppe isolante extérieure 300 présentant chacun un profil en L qui délimite avec la paroi latérale longitudinale 330 une rainure. Les rainures délimitées par les deux montants 332 de chaque moyen de réception 331A, 331 B s'ouvrent en vis-à-vis (figures 6, 14 et 15).Each receiving means 331A, 331B comprises two uprights 332 oriented perpendicularly to the front walls 320 and rear 340 of the outer insulating jacket 300 each having an L-shaped profile which defines with the longitudinal side wall 330 a groove. The grooves delimited by the two uprights 332 of each receiving means 331A, 331B open facing each other ( figures 6 , 14 and 15 ).

Entre les deux montants 332, il est prévu une dent d'accrochage 333 sur laquelle l'élément de fixation 350 correspondant vient s'encliqueter.Between the two uprights 332, there is provided a hooking tooth 333 on which the corresponding fastening element 350 is snapped.

L'élément de fixation 350 est représenté plus particulièrement sur les figures 14 et 15.The fixing element 350 is represented more particularly on the figures 14 and 15 .

Il comporte un support 351 dont les bords latéraux s'enfilent dans les rainures formées par les montants 332 de chaque moyen de réception à glissière 331A, 331B.It comprises a support 351 whose lateral edges are threaded into the grooves formed by the uprights 332 of each slide receiving means 331A, 331B.

Ce support 351 s'étend parallèlement à la paroi latérale longitudinale 330 du dispositif 500 et comporte des moyens complémentaires d'encliquetage sur la dent d'accrochage 333.This support 351 extends parallel to the longitudinal side wall 330 of the device 500 and has complementary latching means on the attachment tooth 333.

Une languette 352 s'étend perpendiculairement à ce support 351 et comporte trois orifices d'accueil 353, 354 d'une vis de fixation pour permettre de fixer par vissage cette languette 352 dans le fond du coffret 600; 800 (figures 14 et 15).A tab 352 extends perpendicularly to the support 351 and has three receiving holes 353, 354 of a fixing screw to allow to fix by screwing this tab 352 in the bottom of the cabinet 600; 800 ( figures 14 and 15 ).

Deux premiers orifices d'accueil 353 sont disposés selon un axe parallèle au support 351, à proximité de celui-ci.Two first receiving orifices 353 are disposed along an axis parallel to the support 351, close to the latter.

Un troisième orifice d'accueil 354 est disposé à l'extrémité libre de ladite languette 352, plus loin du support 351 que les deux premiers orifices d'accueil 353. En outre, la languette 352 forme une marche entre les deux premiers orifices d'accueil 353 et le troisième orifice d'accueil 354, de sorte que celui-ci est situé dans un plan se trouvant légèrement en avant du plan dans lequel se trouvent les deux premiers orifices d'accueil 353.A third reception opening 354 is disposed at the free end of said tongue 352, further from the support 351 than the first two receiving orifices 353. In addition, the tongue 352 forms a step between the two first orifices of 353 home and the third receiving port 354, so that it is located in a plane lying slightly in front of the plane in which are located the first two receiving ports 353.

Cette forme particulière de la languette 352 des moyens de fixation 350 permet de visser la languette 352 au fond de coffrets 600; 800 de différentes géométries, en utilisant soit les deux premiers orifices d'accueil 353 (figure 14), soit le troisième orifice d'accueil 354 (figure 15).This particular form of the tongue 352 of the fixing means 350 makes it possible to screw the tongue 352 to the bottom of boxes 600; 800 of different geometries, using either the first two orifices 353 ( figure 14 ), the third reception opening 354 ( figure 15 ).

Dans une première géométrie du fond du coffret 600, représenté sur les figures 12, 13 et 14, les deux premiers orifices d'accueil 353 de la languette 352 viennent en regard d'une fente ouverte dans un montant 620 du coffret 600 et permettent le vissage de deux vis 353A dans cette fente. Cette fente s'étend parallèlement à l'axe longitudinale X du dispositif 500 de raccordement.In a first geometry of the bottom of the box 600, represented on the figures 12 , 13 and 14 , the first two receiving orifices 353 of the tongue 352 are opposite an open slot in a post 620 of the cabinet 600 and allow the screwing of two screws 353A into this slot. This slot extends parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the connecting device 500.

Dans une deuxième géométrie du fond du coffret 800, représenté sur la figure 15, le troisième orifice d'accueil 354 de la languette 352 vient en regard d'une ouverture d'un montant support des rails 811, 812 de ce coffret 800, et permet le vissage d'une vis 354A à travers cette ouverture et le troisième orifice d'accueil 354.In a second geometry of the bottom of the box 800, represented on the figure 15 , the third reception opening 354 of the tongue 352 comes opposite an opening of a support post of the rails 811, 812 of this cabinet 800, and allows the screwing of a screw 354A through this opening and the third receiving port 354.
